Almost finished xxx nt
#1
I finished building the truck and breaking in the motor. I got a little more to do on the body, but i thought Id show some pictures to see what u guys think of my first air brush paint job. I had to copy the box on this one for the idea, but it has my own twist. So??Whacha Think??

I would say it looks very good. Nothing wrong with getting good ideas from other works of art. If I could I would copy Bodz or Franksbodies, but I am just going to start simple.

Did you use liquid mask? I think I see the bottle in the background? What type of airbrush do you use? I'm ready to buyone.

Thanks guys for the nice words. I need a fast looking paint job to help make up for my slow driving. :o
Davec- Yep thats a big bottle of mask. I brush that on 3 coats, draw it out with a sharpie, cut with #2 exacto. I still have the mask on the windows till i put another coat of blue, then lots of sealer to help stop the paint from scratching off.
Heres a link to the setup i got

If you read XtremeRC Cars magazine check out the October issue (with orange HPI car on cover) page 159, top picture, truck #6 !!! But your's looks better!

That looks like a great airbrush combo. I wish I could budget that now and never have to upgrade, but I'll prolly get a simple (cheaper) one to start.
got paint?
